Regional Haze Implementation Plan Status Summary page updated (12/23/09)
The SIP Status page, used to track progress toward the completion of Regional Haze SIPs and FIPs across the WRAP region,
has been updated after the December 17, 2009 Implementation WorkGroup call.
Below the SIP Status Summary on the front page, there are direct links to the WRAP regional analysis
documentation for §308 and §309 of the Regional Haze Rule are available, as well as to a status summary of BART determinations
work by the states and EPA. Direct links to the TSS, VIEWS, EDMS, and FETS technical decision support systems are now available
at the bottom of the lefthand button bar. Please contact Don Arkell or
Lee Gribovicz
with questions or to update the SIP or BART status tables.

WRAP BART Clearinghouse
For several years through 2009 the WRAP maintained a BART Clearinghouse and updated that clearinghouse with BART information as
States promulgated their individual BART Rules, made preliminary BART determinations, required BART analyses from “Subject to BART”
sources, and reviewed those analyses for making decisions on final BART control requirements. As this was a labor intensive effort
to gather and summarize this BART information, and as WRAP funding is being reduced, the Implementation Workgroup determined that
this effort was more demanding than could be sustained. Thus they gave direction to WRAP staff to “freeze” the BART Clearinghouse
with the December 10, 2009 update of the BART Summary Spreadsheet and Detailed Discussion Document. As an alternative, the WRAP
is providing website links to the individual State Regional Haze pages and where available, to those States’ BART determination
pages, such that interested parties can get BART information directly from the States. The “frozen” December 10th Clearinghouse
Update and the new State BART links are accessed from the “SIP Status Summary – BART” link found in the blue banner in the upper
left of the WRAP homepage, and reside at the following address: http://www.wrapair.org/forums/ssjf/bart.html.

Materials from November 11, 2009 "Ozone & NOx in the West" Meeting posted (12/2/09)
This meeting provided an introduction to air quality management and planning issues related to the regional components of ozone and nitrogen impacts across the West. Presentation materials are posted on the interactive agenda. Background reading materials are also available. With over 60 attendees, the audience of air quality program managers from both the public and private sectors began discussing and defining future regional work on ozone and nitrogen issues in the West. 4 primary topics were reviewed:

Overview of the new WRAP Charter and summary of ongoing regional haze implementation activities;

Information on existing health and welfare standards and goals, including status of ongoing federal review processes for ozone, NOx, and other ambient air quality indicators;

Monitoring data and trends, network operations, plans for field studies, and analysis efforts for ozone, NOx, ammonia, reactive nitrogen, and VOCs; and
